COURTING EMILY is book two in the Wells Landing
series.
Emily has loved Luke her whole life. He is her childhood
sweetheart and
his feelings for her are the same. The only problem is
Luke is leaving the
Amish community of Wells Landing Oklahoma and he wants
Emily to go
with him into the Englisch world. Emily cannot do that as
her Amish faith is
her way of life and one she isn't willing to give up. She
prays that Luke will
find his way back to his faith and she decides to wait for
him. The longer
he stays away the less likely he is to return but Emily
refuses to believe
that.
Elam has always loved Emily but he also always knew she
was in love with
Luke. He loves her from a distance and at first, he
doesn't care that Luke
has left. He knows Emily still loves him. Until one day
they begin a
friendship that has Emily seeing Elam in a whole new
light. Is she over
Luke? Does she still love him? Can Elam love Emily
knowing she still
loves Luke? COURTING EMILY had me in the edge of my seat
and reading
late into the night! I had to know what was going to
happen to the three of
them and who Emily was going to chose!
I found myself thinking about Emily and Elam long after I
finished their
story. I was totally invested in their lives and was
cheering for them the
whole time I was reading. Often, I was yelling at Emily
not to make the
choices she was making and sometimes I was laughing out
loud at the
things she was saying. COURTING EMILY is filled with
love, forgiveness,
letting go, and romance. I loved the interaction between
Emily and Elam's
father James. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop.
Amy Lillard's writing
held me captive from the very first page until the last
page. I can't wait to
read the next book in the series.
Return to Wells Landing, the close-knit Amish community in Oklahoma, where a hopeful young woman struggles to find true love while staying true to her faith. . . Emily Ebersol is the bishop's daughter, and everyone--including Emily--assumes she'll marry a faithful Amish man and live out her days within the community. But her childhood sweetheart, Luke Lambright, fell in love with racing cars during his rumspringa and decided to leave Wells Landing. Emily prays for his return, but as the months go by, she begins spending time with another young man--a man who may not be as exciting as Luke, but perhaps he's exactly what she needs. . . Elam Rhiel knows that Emily has always been in love with Luke--but he is certain he could be the loyal, steady husband Emily deserves. Then, just as Emily begins to fall for him, Luke returns and complicates her feelings. Now, they all must learn that the greatest love requires the greatest sacrifice. . .
